Detailed Solution

Ovulation refers to the release of a mature oocyte (egg) from the ovary into the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilised by sperm. Ovulation typically occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, around day 14 in a 28-day cycle. The process is regulated by a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is released by the pituitary gland.

Therefore, both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
